Congratulations! You have been awarded a Grant!
After ORS has informed the investigator of the results of the competition, it informs all necessary Research Service Providers of successful grants. For large scale competitions ORS will coordinate a launch meeting where the research team is introduced to the various Research Service Providers.
The appropriate research project coordinator (hired manager, Research Officer, Centre Coordinator etc.) will work with Research Service Providers to ensure the research team receives the necessary services in a timely and coordinated fashion. ORS will continue to monitor progress and ensure financial and narrative reports are submitted to the funding agency on time.
I am a new Researcher. What are the key things I need to know about getting access to my research funds?
- My first point of contact is my Research Secretary/Administrator Pat Braithwaite at patb@yorku.ca or at extension 33584
- To apply for external grants I contact the Research officer first.
- I receive an annual PER of $1,350 for Research/Professional costs, effective when I start. See Research Secretary.
- I must spend these funds in accordance with
PER guidelines and in accordance with York policy on reimbursement of expenses.
- PER expenses must be claimed using this form
- All PER claims must be signed by Dean or Chair
- Research Accounting provides training on eReports (accounting system) so that I can monitor spending against my grants. See the Research Secretary to register
- If I have problems with computer passwords or with accessing my grants via eReports email helpdesk@yorku.ca
- To be reimbursed on research expenses for either internal or external grants I fill out a claim for reimbursement found.
- A lot of information on administering my grant can be found at the Research Accounting website
- Researchers are responsible for reviewing their monthly eReports statements to ensure that charges are correct and eligible in accordance with York and agency policies
- If in my offer letter I am to receive startup or other funds for research, discuss with the Research Secretary so that she can inform Research accounting who will then provide me with a cost centre and access to these funds
- Note that before Research Accounting. gives me access to research funds, they will send me an accountability document to sign which outlines my financial responsibilities
- Once Research Accounting. receives this, a cost centre is created and I am notified via email. For questions contact R.A. at resacct@yorku or ext 20232
